This is the mild manner in which the

question: And what is this thing called
anarchy ?, Nothing that the world has
known since it had a recorded history
was ever more internal in all of its attri.

ciety in chaos. The law ~extirpated. The
weak being trampled upon and devoured
by the strong. Property rights a mere
delusion and snare. Every virtue with
a price upon its head. War-servile,
predatory and civil. Highwaymen every
where. Bands of robbers, hooters and
plunderers everywhere. Women de.
bauched. Defiant murder stalking hither
and thither. its garments all bloody, and
its hands reeking. Churches desecrated,
pillaged and burned. The ministers of
religion hunted into holes and hiding
places. Trade and traffic paralyzed from
the heart outward to every extremity.
Agriculture abandoned. The earth un.
titled. These would be some of the ter.
rible attendants upon the footsteps of
anarchy, and these are what are meant
when the cries of "Long live anarchy !"
are fast becoming persistent and multitu.

Comstock ore Bodies.

Appeal: For som years past the Car.
son Appeal has been a steady advocate
of the ore bodies concealed on the Com.
stock. By concealed, we mean kept from
the general public. The mine managers
have known all along where these bodies
were. Now, when they conclude to show
one up, an air of astonishment spreads
over everything. The superintendent
tell the guileless reporter how astonish.
ing it is that "those ore bodies were
lying right there all the while and no.
body ever suspected their whereabouts"
When Con. Virginia was 25 cents a share
the public was frozen out by assess
ments; now the stock is S23, and the
parties who let go are now permitted to
come back and purchase. There is a big
deal on foot all along the ledge, founded
on merit, but there is no reason why the
deal could not have been made at any
time during the past five years. What
the Appeal objects to are the deals which
must come just when the insiders are
ready, and no one else. The talk about
so much Comstock stock being "scat-
tered" at the present time is all non.
sense.

WHY MEN FAIL.

Few men come up to their highest
measure OF success. Some fail through
timidity, or lack of nerve. They are
unwilling to take the risks incident to
life, and fail through fear in venturing
on ordinary duties. They lack pluck.
Others fail through i~mprudence, lack of
discretion, care or sound judgment. They
overestimate the future, and build air
castles, and venture beyond their depth,
and fail and fall. Others, again, fail
through lack of application and perse.
verance. They begin with good resolves,
but soon get tired of that, and want a
change, thinking they can do much better
at something else. Thus they fritter life
away, and succeed at nothing. Others
waste time and money, and fail for want
of economy. Many fail through r%uinous
habits; tobacco, whisky and beer spoil
them for business, drive their best Gus.
toners from them, and scatter their pros.
poets of success. Some fail for want of
brains, education, and fitness for their
calling; they lack a knowledge of human
nature, and of the motives that actuate
men. They have not qualified them.

Who call themselves protectionists. They

They don't know what they will be thirty

felled. His shoulder was d~islocated,

A Thrifty Lawyer,

August Muenter, a rich Stockton
lawyer, appears to be a decidedly
thrifty member OF a profession noted
for it's th%riftiness. He was employed
by q poor widow to defend her home
stead, and accordingly drew out the
necessary papers. Then he went to
the other side and engaged himself to
antagonize his own client. When
confronted with the complaint and
answer, both in his own hand writing,
the scoundrel is reported to have
"wilted." The wonder is that a man
with such brazen audacity should
think it worth while to manifest any of
the symptoms of remorse common to
honest men. One would suppose,
under the circumstances, that the
Court before whom the shameful
revelation was made would have
ordered Muenter into Jail for con-
tempt, but it did nothing of the kind.

lief that the legal pirate may be disbar-

A FLuTTER OF SUSPICION.
Death of MRS. Minnie Sheriu"m-
The Causes which Led 20 1t.

Four new mattresses came here SIX
weeks ago from San Francisco, and
went to work in the Stone saloon.
Last Saturday morning IL OF them,
Minnie Sheridan, died under circum-
stances which caused a flutter of sus-
picion that she had been foully dealt
with. Her friends did not appear to
know that she was seriously sick, I'M
til informed of her death by Ed.
Diamond, with whom she had been
living. They notified Under Sheriff
Rives OF the death, and also informed
him that their late companion had
saved about $65, which she had in her
possession but a few days previous,
and at the time of her death, only 81
could be found. This circumstance,
coupled with the fact that she had
been convulsed with spasms for
several hours before her death caused
the suspicion. A Coroner's inquest
was held on the body, but there was
nothing in the evidence adduced to
show that any wrong had been done.
1t appears that she had been for five
or six years in the habit OF smoking
opium, and drank hard at times.
After she was taken sick, she was at
tended by a Chinese doctor, who
gave her medicine to stop purging and
vomiting. She also used honey, and
a residue oiopium to cure her OF the
opium habit. Those who attended
the deceased during her sickness are
blamed for having satisfied her crav-
ings for hot and cold drinks, ETC.,
which probably chilled and caused
paralysis of the stomach, superinduc-
ing exhaustion, and in this state she
died. The verdict of the Coroner's
jury was that she came to her death
from taking an overdose Of medicine.
The husband and father of the de-
ceased, were informed by telegraph Of
her death and last Tuesday the hus-
band telegraplled instructions to bury
her here, and send him the bills for
the expenses. Her funeral therefore
took place on the following day.
